    When configured to leave the older tab open and the older tab is on another window, it would be nice if this addon allowed to move to the older tab. Actually the new duplicated tab is just closed without knowing where the older tab is.

    When opening new duplicate tab I would like to keep old tab intact, remove newly opened duplicate tab and make old tab active instead.
    I have tried flipping "CLOSE OLDERS" option but in both cases older tab get closed.

    Thanks for the review. You can try disable "keep the tab that is active" in options.

    I like the idea behind this extension and it does what it says quite well. I just wish there was a way to check for open tabs BEFORE opening a new one instead of closing the duplicate tab after the fact. Either way, still a good solution.

    Thanks! Unfortunately I think that is impossible, because events are triggered after the tab is opened, ie the control on the tabs only occurs after.

    I believe that this is so to avoid problem like sending POST requisitions, that it would be impossible to do a check if there were the use of `form method="POST" target="_blank"`, this is how the internal API of firefox (WebExtension: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions) and other browsers works.
